Elliott Murphy – Caught Short In The Long Run (Ukulele)

E               Asus2
Roll down your window

E                            Asus2
Your crying's got everything steamed

E                 Asus2
Roll down your window

F#m11                                B
It's not as desperate as you make it seem

E                     Asus2
You're so young to have seen it

E                                               Asus2
And now your vision is much too old and much too clear

E                                                Asus2
You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing

F#m11                           B
We dated once or twice in earlier years

E                     Asus2
And I know that you're trying

E                            Asus2
And believe me I know that it's tough

E                                             Asus2
But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children

F#m                       B
Skip ahead to the lighter stuff

      E               G#m            C#m               A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more

           E                  G#m        C#m           A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw

             E                G#m         C#m        A     B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or

       E                     Asus2
And you're thinking of your family

           E                    Asus2
And you're thinking it's been much too long

                     E                   Asus2
Because you need some innocence and their order

            F#m11               B
But that medicine is much too strong

              E                    Asus2
And we're holding so tight and we're falling

         E                     Asus2
And the funny thing is both are just the same

          E                         Asus2
You know freedom will find its own amusement

             F#m                   B
And it looks like we've found a waiting game

             E                           Asus2
So you torture yourself for that moment

              E5                     A
When the only thing left is to feel

                E5                               A
You know romantics may run free in the darkness

                    F#m                         B
But come the light, they're the first to kneel

      E               G#m            C#m               A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more

           E                  G#m        C#m           A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw

             E                G#m         C#m        A     B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or

       E                G#m         C#m             A
But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen

             E        G#m            C#m    A
And my own indecision how badly that shows

         E                 G#m                      A         F#m       B
And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.
